Abstract
Immunodeficiency is increasingly encountered in daily medical practice. As a result, the concomitant risk for opportunistic infections is higher. Immuno-compromised patients may present with uncommon clinical and radiologic conditions. We report a case of 48-year-old man chronic alcoholic for 25yrs who presented with abdominal pain and features suggestive of small bowel obstruction. On exploratory laparotomy and enterostomy yellow, shaggy necrotic material adherent to the folds of intestine was found. After the histopathological confirmation extensive fungal enteritis due to Candida albicans with partial small bowel obstruction was diagnosed.
